Six more Manitoba communities have been given money to launch age-friendly activities.
The provincial government announced today it will give $2,000 apiece to Belmont, in the RM of Strathcona, Baldur, in the RM of Argyle, the RM of Victoria Beach, the town of Powerview-Pine Falls, the RM of Minitonas, and the RM of Lac du Bonnet.
The announcement brings to 72 the number of Manitoba communities which have joined the Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative (AFMI).
Today has been designated Age-Friendly Connecting Communities Day.
“We started this initiative to ensure the needs of our growing seniors’ population are being met,” Jim Rondeau, the province’s healthy living, youth and seniors minister, said in a statement.
“AFMI is helping to support healthy, active living and ensure that our physical and social environments are accessible and conducive to full, active community participation.”
